Should You Invite Guests to Play In Your D&D Campaign?
Today we talk about inviting guests to join you in your D&D campaign.
Here are some of the topics we talked about :
Should you have guest players?
Reasons For
The guest has never played D&D. Allowing them to play with an established group would give them a better experience than just having them find a random group who may or may not have played before.
Bringing in a guest might allow you to portray an important NPC in the story without having to roleplay them yourself
Reasons Against
Adding in a guest might disrupt the flow of the game and the group. They may not mesh because they probably don’t understand the inside jokes and comradery of the group
Why should you try having a guest player?
How Should You Do It?
How Should You Not Do it?
Mentioned in this episode:
Add the Magic of Sound to Your Gameplay
When you set the scene you need to tap into the five senses. When it comes to sound one of the best ways to do that is with music, sound effects, and ambience. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Monument Studios.
Monument Studios provides an easy-to-use Soundboard perfect for Dungeon Mastering. If you want to see this in action, go to fantasy-plus.com and get 10% off of your first month of their Fantasy+ App by using the code BETTERDM at check out. Again that is fantasy-plus.com and BETTERDM at checkout.
